Armin Schwarzenbach
Born in 1914.
Died in 2000.
Armin Schwarzenbach (1914–2000) is listed in the SIKART database under identifier 4003958, documenting his presence in Swiss reference resources on modern and contemporary art. As described in the available entries, his work follows two recurring thematic strands: the depiction of mountain landscapes and floral still lifes, the latter often executed in oil and characterised by intense colour.
According to an entry cited on Kunstmarkt BeO, he is said to have worked as an independent artist in his own studio in Spiez from 1944. The same documentary tradition indicates that he took on trainees: for example, one source notes that Marc Rüfli undertook internships with him, pointing to an informal pedagogical role within his studio.
The landscapes he depicted refer in particular to the Bernese Oberland, although the documentation also records series or works painted from life in Provence, Italy, Mallorca and Egypt, suggesting a painterly itinerary not confined to a single regional landscape. According to the same accounts, several of these scenes were reportedly painted outdoors, placing the practice of working from the motif at the heart of his method when the subject called for it. Alongside the landscapes, his floral still lifes, executed in oil on canvas, are noted for their vivid palette and chromatic density—a recurring formal tendency in the entries consulted.
For bibliographic reference, SIKART contains an entry (identifier 4003958), which serves as the principal point of reference for this notice and places the artist within the reference resources documenting the regional art scene.
